Angelo Loicano was a Lucchese Mafia figure who was closely aligned to hoodlum Giovanni John "Big John" Ormento. Ormento and his drug networks were taken down by a combination of New York Police and Federal Narcotics Bureau agents. Ormento went to prison fro forty years in 1962. U.S. Attorney Robert Morgenthau prosecuted Loicano at the same time that he did Ormento. Loicano, of Jackson Heights, was among multiple defendants convicted in the same narcotics operation. He was sentenced to twenty years in prison in 1962. Loicano's career in organized crime was an extended one. His last conviction came three years after an earlier 1959 case in which Mafia boss Vito "Don Vitone" Genovese was sent to federal prison in a major bust.
